Ingredients

  • 1 large poblano or Anaheim chile pepper
  • Corn oil
  • 1 cup cleaned and chopped zucchini blossoms
  • 1/2 cup diced zucchini
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen white corn
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 4 large flour tortillas used for burritos
  • 6 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, crumbled
  • Guacamole
  • Pico de Gallo

Method

  • Grill the chile over very hot coals or in a flame on top of the stove until blackened, about 10 minutes.
  • Place in a paper bag and let steam for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Peel off the charred skin using your fingers or a sharp paring knife.
  • Remove the seeds and coarsely chop the chile.
  • Set aside.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over high heat.
  • Add the blossoms, zucchini, corn, and peppers.
  • Lower the heat to medium-high and saute several minutes until the vegetables are soft, then add the chicken stock.
  • Cook several minutes more over medium-high heat until all the liquid is absorbed.
  • Let cool to warm.
  • To assemble the quesadilla, spread 1/2 cup of filling on one half side of a tortilla, keeping the filling within 1/4 inch from the edge.
  • Sprinkle with some of the cheese.
  • Fold the other half over to dose.
  • Lightly brush the folded tortilla with a little oil.
  • Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  • Place quesadillas on a lightly oiled grill or grilling rack and cook, covered, over medium heat, about 45 seconds per side, just until the cheese has melted and the tortilla is lightly browned.
  • To serve, cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges with a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
  • Accompany with Guacamole and Pico de Gallo or your favorite spicy salsa.
